    In my opinion he underestimated Tyson Fury's technical ability, and during the fight he was surprised by the situation he was put in! he was put in a situation where, he had to alter his style and become the pressure fighter! and from a psychological perspective, i just don't think he was prepared or ready for that type of fight!

    But there where some positives to take from the fight? he was not badly beaten up, or hurt by Tyson Fury. And out of the two fighters, it was Fury who was backing up for the entire fight!

    It was clear that Kiltschko was frustrated by his own performance, and wanted to redeem himself during the rematch.

      Turned out to be a bad style match-up. Has spent years in relatively easy fights where he can pick and choose shots that carry no risk whatsoever. Forced to take risks he couldn't make himself do it. The safety-first mindset is hardwired at this point.

        Wlad hasn't been able to pull the trigger in years which is why his fights are so damn boring.

        I was no surprised to see him in the ring with someone his size, and finally lose. He too gun shy. This has been going on for years with him too, just wasn't anyone big enough to expose it.

          Exactly right.
